Nice graphic, thanks.
How are you, Amy? Hope you had a nice day.
Me too!
I am leaving it in the Lords hands.
Happy Columbus Day
I am watching the NYY vs. LAA...Yankee fan here :-)
On the edge of my seat.
God Bless our Military
I am watching the NYY vs. LAA...Yankee fan here :-) On the edge of my seat.
Me too, but I'm still hopeful.
I am hopeful too :-)
Happy Columbus Day to you, too! I haven't been following the game--did/are they winning? Who will they be playing in the World Series?
Hi LUVW, hope all is well with you and yours. LAA will now play against the White Sox. Bummed that the Yankees lost...oh well.
"A Day of General Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed... to be observed on the second Monday in October."
T for time to be together, turkey, talk, and tangy weather.
H for harvest stored away, home, and hearth, and holiday.
A for autumn's frosty art, and abundance of love in the heart.
N is for neighbors, and October, nice things, new things to remember.
K for kitchen, kettles' croon, kith and kin expected soon.
S for sizzles, sights, and sounds, and something special that abounds.
The first North American Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1578 when the English Navigator, Martin Frobisher, held a formal ceremony in Newfoundland. He did this to give thanks for surviving the long sea journey, and other settlers arrived in Newfoundland, and the tradition was continued by them.
In 1879, Parliament declared November 6th a national holiday of Thanksgiving. Over the years this date changed, and on January 31, 1957, Parliament declared the second Monday in October of each year to be "A Day of General Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed".
Awwwww--they lost? Bummer! Well, it'll be an interesting series without the Yanks in it!
Happy Thanksgiving to all our FRiends in Canada
LOL, it would have been more interesting for me if the Yanks were in it.
Have a good night :-)
P.S. I will now be cheering for the White Sox :-)
'Nite, deadhead! Well, maybe I'll just cheer for the White Sox with ya, since I have no dog in this fight! LOL!
Did you see any of the Astros game yesterday? Wild thing! Roger Clements was the only pitcher left in the bullpen and had to pitch the last 3 innings--got 4 Ks and the win.

Counterfeit Reality
Read:
|
When people see a photograph or video today, they often ask, "Is it real?" A home computer can manipulate images to create a picture of an event that never happened. Images can be inserted into or removed from photographs. A video can be doctored to make it appear that a person was caught committing a crime or performing an act of heroism. The camera may not lie, but the computer can.
Centuries before such modern technology, the apostle Paul warned Timothy about counterfeit reality in the church. He said that in the last days people would be self-absorbed, "having a form of godliness but denying its power" (2 Timothy 3:5). He repeatedly emphasized the need to live a godly life, warning that "evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived" (v.13).
Paul charged Timothy to "continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of" (v.14). True godliness honors and obeys God while its counterfeit seeks pleasure and personal gain. One pleases the Lord; the other gratifies natural desire. Both are identified by their actions.
When people hear us say we are Christians, they may wonder if our faith is real. Our lives will answer the question by reflecting the reality of Christ. David McCasland
A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Matthew 7:18
Late night, catching up a bit now.. great write in info. will this be an ad or a flyer that you pass our at polls (or both)?
cute limerick..
Sadder more serious side to the soldier/sailor party time..my former husband was one of the legal officers on the USS Shanri-La during the viet nam years. Unfortunately while in various ports many of the young men got so loaded they died in their own vomit..sometimes on shore & sometimes in the ship afterward. Cant recall how & but he was involved in those situaitons with the write ups/family notifications etc.
